Jun. 1st, 2009 04:15 pmThe pre-assessment was very good.
I wasn't expecting to see the surgeon today but see her I did, and she made sure I knew exactly what was going to happen. Or rather, what they will look for, because it's still a bit up in the air. Basically, she's going to check everything including menisci even though they didn't show up damaged on the MRI, and hopefully fix it all. If there's cartilage damage under the kneecap I might have to go back another time because they have transplant it from elsewhere and do magical things in the lab, but it sounds like they would get me back in within a couple of weeks. I won't be staying overnight, I can eat all of today and keep taking painkillers, and will probably be back home sometime between 5pm and 8pm. And they will give me whatever painkillers I end up taking. I am probably going to be very sore but should get back on my feet immediately as I'll heal better. Then saw the nurse, peed in a cup, answered questions, blood pressure, done.
Eeeee I getting fixed. :D
